Most people sneeze in the course OF
their lifetime, AMI even in this country
there are many communities among
whom bystanders upon such an occa.
sion will exclaim God Bless you!'
This is designed to avert the evil omen.
The superstition was brought here from
England and from most of the northern
nations of Europe
Many Of our readers will recall what
Longfellow wrote of the custom in
Sweden: You sneeze and the peasants
say, God bless you!
A writer at the beginning of this GEN.
tary, remarking upon the custom in
Italy, says that when you sneeze. seven
in the theatres, men raise and wish you
"Felieita!' The purport of this is the
same as the hearty English or Swedish

The origin of this custom in different
countries of Europe was the same, Just
sits meaning the same. 1t has been trac-

will read of it in England in the time of
Edward Ill In 1850 this plague swept
over Sweden and Denmark. Its rava-

that the disease gained the name of the

dreaded a disease was sneeze. There

wsll known TO the ladies Of that city from
the great good she has done by means OF
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She writes Mrs. Pinkham of a recent
interesting case. "a young married lady
came to me suffering with a severe case OF
Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in two months
was FULLY RESTORED. In proof of this she
soon found herself in AN interesting con.
dition. Influenced by foolish friends she
attempted to evade the responsibilities Of
maturity. After ten or twelve days she
came to me again and she was indeed in a
most alarming state and suffered terribly.
! gave her tablespoonful of the Com
pound every hour for eight hours until she
fell asleep, she awOke much relieved and
evidently better. She continued taking the
Compound, and in due season she became
the mother of fine healthy boy. But for
the timely use of the medicine she belie-cs
her life would have been lost"

it might be useful to the readers Of the

mode ofdoing it.
Ii have forgotten the name of a
person | start at the letter A and dwell
a short time upon each letter of the

which the name begins, when i'm an
instant it will come to memory For
instance | knew person by the name
of Wilson and had not seen him for
many years. We met and his face was
familiar, but | could not recall his
name. To do so | started at the com
mencement of the ali habet, and, as
have said, slowly dwelt npon each
letter in turn. and the moment | came
to w the name came to my memory.
1t is the same with towns, streets, etc.
If any reader doubts the efficacy of this
plan let her give it trial. q.
